HTML stands for ‘HyperText Markup Language’ and is used to create web pages that are designed to be displayed on web browsers. Technically HTML is a programming language

HTML Tags are like hidden keywords that are used to define how text or images will be displayed on web pages. HTML tags are defined by angle brackets ‘< >’ and consist of 3 parts: an Opening tag, Tag name & closing tag'</>’. Most tags have opening and closing tags except a few like <br>. Now the closing tag is the same as the opening tag with a forward slash prefixed to the tag name. The browser does not display the HTML tag but it formats the content on the website for end-users.

It is important to understand HTML codes, proper usage will enable you to create an awesome user experience. However, you need not be a top coder to learn HTML.
